Steve.Mitnick said: "Yes, but he said that this plan is too expensive, and you will definitely not agree. But I think the most important thing you need now is money?"

"There is indeed no shortage of money," Eric said with a smile. Although Firefly Group has just issued a huge bond of 8billion USD, as long as Eric needs money, I believe that all banks in United States will not refuse to provide huge loans to Eric: "But we lack It ’s time, the computer operating system has been developed for more than ten years, and there are already many mature operating systems on the market. Moreover, compared to the development of a brand new operating system, a new Web browsers are obviously easier. Now that we have achieved an unparalleled advantage in this field, it would be unwise to give up our advantages and switch to other industries. "

In fact, the most important reason why Eric did n’t say it and could n’t tell it is that Microsoft will launch the epoch-making Windows95 operating system next year. The release of WWin95 means that Microsoft will unify the operating system, and then launch another one. The other operating system will definitely become a bad taste. If the time can be five years ahead of schedule, Eric will definitely not hesitate to agree to the Steve.Mitnick solution, using the advantages of browser software to develop a web-based operating system. Netscape, the first successful graphical interface browser developed by Space Time, once proposed an operating system plan based on the Netscape browser, and this plan was precisely due to the rise of WWin95, and later Google I plan to develop a free operating system based on the Google browser, but after the news is released, there is also no text below. It can be seen that after WWin95, it is impossible to shake the status of Microsoft in the PC era.

Steve.Mitnick nodded in disappointment: "It seems that what you said makes sense."

Eric smiled. Although Steve.Mitnick is a technical genius, it is somewhat idealistic after all. Such people are more pure, just like the two founders of Google in the original space and time, Eric can conclude that at least Steve.Mitnick will focus more on technology research and development, and will not bother to make money for the money-making organization. in fact. Eric feels that people who concentrate more on one thing tend to gain more.

"Actually, you should be able to guess," Eric waited a while, and said voluntarily: "I am here to plan to integrate all three companies together. The establishment of Yahoo network company, IE and Hotmail will be officially renamed Yahoo Browser And Yahoo Mail, Steve, are you interested in being the CEO of this company? "

"No no no, Eric," Steve.Mitnick immediately shook his head: "You can let me sit on the computer screen for a lifetime, but if you want me to be a company manager, sit in the office every day or In the meeting room, I will go crazy when dealing with the trivial matters of at sixes and sevens. "After a pause, Steve.Mitnick said:" You better let Ian come, he is obviously better at running the company. Maybe I can be the CTO of Yahoo (Chief Technology Officer). "

Eric was a little surprised, and then smiled: "I always think you and another Steve I know are quite similar, but now it seems that the two of you are completely two types of people."

Another Steve, of ​​course Steve Jobs. Jobs is a man with a very strong desire to control, and the guy in front of him is more inclined to a technical mania who doesn't listen to things outside the window.

"Are you saying Steve Jobs?" The Mitnick surpassed a white commercial car with the steering wheel, followed closely behind the two cars in front, and said in memory, "I bought one when I was at Penn tosh, it was really a great personal computer and graphics user platform at that time. The first multimedia function and 8MHz processor speed were far faster than the IBM personal computer at the time, but unfortunately after Steve Jobs left. Apple Inc. has not What good stuff is launched. "

......

After more than half an hour, three cars stopped in front of a white six-story office building near the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on the other side of the Charles river. After talking all the way, Eric was almost cut off, so Steve.Mitnick was only in my heart. Technical computer genius is in charge of Yahoo. Although Steve.Mitnick has a very high IQ, it has no intention to control the mind of a company.

Except for the few stores on the ground floor of the office building. All the top five floors are occupied by three companies. At present, the three companies have a total of nearly 900 employees. Eric, led by the three supervisors of Steve.Mitnick, began to greet the employees of the open work areas at all levels.

Entering the office area on the second floor, although the space of this office building is very large, the average density of less than 200 employees per floor is not too large, but with a large number of office appliances, personal computers and other equipment, it looks like It seems a lot of clutter. However, seeing the appearance of Big Boss behind the scenes of Eric, all employees seemed to be in high spirits. Some bold female employees also found a camera and excitedly took Eric to take a series of photos.

All the way to a lounge on the top floor, Eric sat down at the round table and smiled and said to several others: "When I first went to the Pixar studio, all the employees of Pixar also gathered in A very dilapidated and crowded office building, but now Pixar has its own 16-acre dedicated office park in Emoryville, San Francisco. I believe the future success of the company you have in your hands is far more than Pixar, so this Everything is only temporary. "

The three companies have been burning money for several years and basically have little income. Of course, Steve.Mitnick and others dare not extravagantly demand a better office environment. Moreover, since they discovered the growing potential of the three companies, They are even less concerned about such trivial matters as the office environment.

The Ian Gunier responsible for browser development said: "Eric, I think it's already great here. So, let's take a look at the development results of IES, just in my office, this kind of browser literal translation you put forward The language idea is really genius. Once IES is released, I think no one can surpass IE in the browser field. "

When Jeff Locke and Steve.Mitnick heard Ian Gunier mention IES, they all showed a eager expression.

Eric smiled and glanced at the blank Tina Brown, shaking his head and laughing: "It is still not used for the time being, people have worked for me for more than two years. Always show it, you know that Boston can accommodate 900 Do people start party together? "

This time it was the turn of three big men who showed a dazed look. Tina Brown realized that he had not yet signed the employment contract, and Eric deliberately diverted from this topic that seemed to involve company secrets. Don't mind. As the most famous Vanity Fair party planner after the Oscar ceremony, Tina Brown is obviously the most experienced in this kind of thing, laughing: "Eric, if you want to arrange a party of 900 people at a time, it is best to hold an open-air party. The location can only be I chose to be in a nearby park. I just know the phone number of Boss, the largest party company in Boston, they can contact the corresponding party place, but if you want tonight, urgently contact the party place to arrange various food and beverage facilities. All need to add money. "

Eric said with a smile: "Then please contact you, Tina."

Tina Brown smiled slightly and said, "Well, as you wish, Boss." After that, he looked at the Ian Gunier three: "Can you borrow me to use the phone?"

"Follow me, ma'am." Ian Gunier took the initiative to get up and walked into an office with Tina Brown.

We arranged a staff meeting in the evening and had lunch together before Eric and Tina Brown returned to the hotel where we reserved.

In the afternoon, I found a coffee shop. Eric reviewed the prepared documents for Tina Brown, including the long-term equity incentive contract.

After confirming that he has no doubts, Tina Brown finally signed an agreement to officially join Yahoo as the content editor.

......

Look down the glass windows of the hotel suites to look downstairs at Massachusetts Avenue connecting MIT and Harvard. On both sides of the street are the complexes of heights and extreme ages that drive obsessive-compulsive patients crazy, compared to previous life memory In a little care, China has gathered a metropolis with tens of millions of people. At present, the entire population of the Boston area is hundreds of kilometers away, and the total population is less than 5 million. The resident population in the urban area is only 600,000. Perhaps because of this, the municipal planning is so 'unhurried'. There was a thick chaos of breath.

As a Boss, at the party on the other side of the Charles River in Boston Park last night, the enthusiastic staff of No. 900 was taken back to the hotel in a dizzy and dizzy mood, even though they were very careful.

The mind is still a little bloated. Eric looks at the downtown area of ​​Cambridge covered by the morning sun in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, thinking wildly to stretch his body a little. Before going out of the room to the restaurant.

After seeing Eric walking into the restaurant, Tina Brown sitting by the window seat nodded at him. After Eric walked over, he signaled that he had almost finished his breakfast, laughing: "Try Boston Sorry for roasting beans, now this kind of food is rarely provided in the restaurant, I didn't expect there to be any here. "

Boston has a nickname that is ten times larger than New York's Apple. It is called Doudou City. It is a dish named Boston stuffed roasted beans that originated in front of Tina Brown.

Eric is not a Westerner accustomed to sweets. I am grateful for this food stuffed with syrup. I sat down opposite Tina Brown and just randomly placed a sandwich and a glass of juice.

Tina Brown asked the waiter to remove their tableware, sat patiently reading a copy of today ’s newspaper, and waited for Eric to finish breakfast, saying: “Eric, I hope to take over the editorial team of Yahoo as soon as possible. The office space of the three companies I saw yesterday was really scattered, and it was difficult for me to concentrate on working in that kind of environment. I called some real estate agents yesterday and had two floors of an office building on the same street Because the original company went bankrupt and just vacated, I hope I can rent it there. "

Eric smiled and nodded: "I said, after you join the job, these are things within your authority. But recently there are many things that you need to understand together, so there is no need to be so anxious, when I leave Boston, Then you can let go of your hands and feet and do a good job. "

"A lot of things ..." Tina Brown repeated a sentence and smiled: "For example, about the IES thing yesterday?"

"Yeah, but this is only one part of it," Eric said: "The so-called IES is a codename for a computer language that the IE browser team and two other companies have been developing since the end of last year. They are all called IEScript, This is a new scripting language that is different from traditional programming languages. In simple terms, such as IE browser software, this software is mainly written in C language, but the C language code that programmers started to write cannot be used by computers. Recognition requires special software to be compiled and converted into a language that the computer can recognize and execute. The new IES script language omits the compilation process, and web programmers can directly write this language into the web page code, and then the IE browser Translate directly. "

The IEScript script language is Eric. According to the idea of ​​JauaScript developed by the Netscape browser company in memory, the design ideas proposed to Ian Gunier are a few. For the top computer technology talents such as Ian Gunier, Jeff Locke and Steve.Mitnick, Eric is a bit vague. It is enough for them to design a brand new IES scripting language by-pass.

Although Tina Brown is not very familiar with computer knowledge, she still understands the explanation of Eric, but she still has some doubts: "Eric, what is the role of this scripting language?"

"The main function of this scripting language is to allow the static and unchanging web pages to change dynamically. Let ’s take a simple example. For example, web ads, the current Yahoo web pages can only simply embed a fixed ad. Although it is possible to manually adjust the advertising content of different pages among various webpages with different contents, it is unrealistic to implement completely manual operations in the face of millions of webpages in the future. But it has the IES scripting language , We can more accurately place corresponding ads on web pages with different content. Through dynamic code recognition, movie information pages can automatically place movie ads, and sports news pages appear as sports goods ads. "Speaking of which, Eric I took a sip of juice and left the Tina Brown technology blind to think for a while, and continued: "Of course, these are not the most important, the most critical point, the IES scripting language will be free for web developers, this language is People with basic technology are also very easy to learn. Within one to two years, it is impossible for the same industry to appear Another scripting language. This plan cooperates with the 100 million USD I used to tell you the Yahoo angel funds used to fund the development of content websites. The rapid promotion in two years is enough to establish the standard format of IES in the development of web pages. The patent of IE browser, so in the future, all websites designed by IES scripting language can only be recognized by IE browser, I think, you should be able to realize what this represents?
